Rougned Odor, Luke Jackson take Rangers’ top minor league honors

Second baseman Rougned Odor and right-hander Luke Jackson, who finished 2013 at Double A Frisco, were named the Tom Grieve Minor League Player and Nolan Ryan Minor League Pitcher of the Year in the Texas Rangers organization.

Odor, a Venezuelan who is considered the Rangers’ top prospect, batted .305 with 41 doubles, six triples, 11 home runs, 78 RBIs, 32 stolen bases and 85 runs as a 19-year-old at Class A Myrtle Beach and Double A Frisco.

Jackson, selected 45th overall in the 2010 draft, was 11-4 with a 2.04 ERA and 134 strikeouts with Myrtle Beach and Frisco. His .202 opponents’ average was the seventh-lowest among all minor leaguers in full-season leagues, and his ERA was eighth-best.

Outfielder Jake Skole (top defender) and left-hander Alexander Claudio (top reliever) also will be honored Jan. 24 at the Dr Pepper Awards Dinner at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine.

First baseman Mitch Moreland, left-hander Neal Cotts and right-hander Neftali Feliz and Alexi Ogando were among the 146 players who filed for salary arbitration Tuesday.
